Where are all the Forty, Fabulous and Fit Working moms???
Looking for support from other fabulous working moms in their forties. I am 45 with two teens (18 and 16). I work in an education related field. this was my first year working full time after many years of part time and the result is I have put on some weight. I need support to take it off. I only need to lose about 20 lbs…

Sassy summer outfits...a little motivation!
Living in Minnesota, I hide my skin and extra lbs beneath layers of bulky clothes. But the thaw is beginning....it reached 30 degrees this week! Woohoo! So.....I've been thinking about what I'm going to wear *confidently* when it IS time to expose some skin. One thing I always avoid is sleeveless tops due to…
mothers!
I'm 40 years old. I run a house, hold down a job, care for my husband, look after 4 kids, including two disabled ones, cook healthy meals every day and work out 5-6 days a week to keep myself fit(ish) and healthy, walk/cycle with the kids each day to set a good example to them, and help with homework as and when required.…
Time for YOU ...
I think this is one of the most difficult struggles for working moms. We already have the "work guilt" going on because we're not home for the kids as much as we'd like to be. So any personal time on top of that feels selfish, especially when there are a hundred things at home to be done! When I first started exercising…
Saturday Excuses: I will work out when I'm done.....
Cleaning the house....doing the laundry....watching this show....fixing lunch.... Face it, the house will always need cleaning, there will always be laundry and the show can wait. It's time to work out! No more excuses! Except.....my daughter is begging me to play with her, "please mommy? you can be Belle and I will be the…
Good News/Bad News: 1lb does not equal 3,500 calories
I stumbled upon this article by Zoe Harcombe (whoever THAT is) when I googled "how many calories are in a lb." She challenged the widely accepted estimate of 3,500 calories per lb of fat. Apparently, there is the potential for a lot of variation in the calculation. So, the Good News is, on the lowest extreme, you need to…
My February success - there is hope for you too!
Hi Ladies - Just wanted to share some good news. At the start of February, I started counting calories with a vengeance (~1350 per day) and doing short cardio workouts 3-5 days a week. I get up for work at 6 a.m. and there is NO WAY you could get me up at 5 to work out, so the exercise comes in AFTER kids are in bed at…
Mental Block
I have readjusted my goals to include eating more. I had been around 1308 calories while working out burning 400+ during circuit classes. When I finally stalled and couldn't figure out why, I began to plug things in here and run reports. I wasn't getting the "net calories" thing until I saw it on paper. I was most days…
best take out?
Ok,I admit it. Sometimes I just can't find the energy/motivation to cook for everyone at the end of the day. Yes I make extra and freeze portions, but if I need to feed the whole family quickly and with little effort I occasionally buy take out. As far as I can tell all takeaway food is apallingly bad for you, high is…
